Contrast: Black and White.
I'm a big fan of contrast and the elegance of classic modern. These two rooms are in the home I designed and developed in the historic French Quarter of New Orleans, with the help of @leeledbetter. It was also featured in Architectural Digest. Be sure to see more of my work showcased as I'm mentoring and helping up and coming developers on The Deed, June 13 on #cnbc#TheDeedCnbc#realestateflipping#Financial#literacy@archdigest

Hanging with my OG!

If someone told me years ago that I would end up with three dogs I wouldn't of believed it, but here I am and I owe it all to Lady and my son @samtorres504 they have brought me so much love and joy I

I am grateful for all that I am and all that I hope to experience.
Today I reconsider the intentions I set for the new year and take time to reflect on what’s important to me. In doing so, my heart fills with gratitude for all that I am, all that I have, all that I want to express in my life.

I make gratitude my priority and set my intention to express gratitude as much as possible throughout the day. I choose my words with care and purpose, for I know that every word spoken in gratitude blesses others. I consider how I respond to events and act where I can to help someone else.

I end my day with prayers of gratitude, reflecting on the moments that held special meaning. My grateful heart, my thoughtful words and actions open the way for wonderful blessings to flow into my life.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.—1 Thessalonians 5:18. #Bahamas#thedeedcnbc

#Sunday Balance
Living in peace brings harmony to my life.
Learning a skill that requires balance—riding a bike, rock climbing, horseback riding, to name a few—calls for concentration and practice.
The same is true for my mental well-being. Living a balanced life necessitates that I recognize and live from my spiritual center—my faith that I am part of something greater than my humanness.

I live a life of balance from the truth of my being. Consciously slowing my physical and mental activities and responsibilities offers space for guidance, peace, rest, and receptivity to the joys of living. I allow myself to be more contemplative, to be awed by sunsets, to smell the rain, and to enjoy the little things that are true blessings.

For those who enter God’s rest also cease from their labors as God did from his.—Hebrews 4:10

Happy 97th Birthday Grammy!!
I have no words for the amount of love, respect and gratitude I have for my Grammy. She has been there for me through thick and thin, especially the days when I was lost and struggling with my life. My parents divorced when I was 11 which was extremely difficult for me, and I was feeling so insecure about myself because I have dyslexia and I struggled a lot in school. I turned to things that were not good in order to cope, and I started going down the wrong path. My Grammy would be there for me during these dark times and would always tell me that things will work out. Her words, presence and food she made for me gave me a sense of comfort even when I didn't see a way at all. She always said that God has a plan for me, and she turned out to be right. Things did start to turn around for me, and she was the first person who stepped up very early in my career by taking a risk and cosigned my very first real estate flip. I am sure a lot of us have people in our lives who are angels sent from God that are here to help lift us out of our darkest times. My Grammy was definitely the rock in my life when I needed it most, and I am forever thankful for her and all that she's done for me. I love you so so much #ChrisOwens

This is the year to consider the possibilities and allow myself the bravery of beginning anew. Perhaps I will travel. Maybe I will start looking for a new job or career. I might even go back to school or decide to claim a new pattern in existing relationships. I am the creator of my life’s path!

Before I embrace a new role, I pause. I move my attention gently and purposefully into my heart space. I become fully present in this moment, taking a deep, conscious breath. I ask myself, What is mine to begin? I feel the question move through me with each new breath. Attuned to creative power, I listen and feel for an answer.

I am the creator of my life’s path.

This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you.—Exodus 12:2 #Bahamas#2018@samtorres504
